Moon Queen Magic: A Prologue
A SAILOR MOON FAN FICTION
MOON QUEEN MAGUS
BY:
THE DRAGONBARD
This is entirely a work of fiction, meant for entertainment
purposes only, any copywrite infringement is unintentional. All
characters are the property of their respective owners.
This version of Sailor Moon is a combination of the DIC translated
version and the 'official' japanese one. That should explain any
strangeness that you may notice.
This story occures sometime after Reenie/Chibiusa goes back to the
future, and after all the Outer Scouts are introduced. Beyond that I
have no idea when this takes place in the Sailor Moon timeline, so I
reserve the right to use any and all attacks in this fan fic.
I'm using the DIC versions of the names because I don't want to
irritate anyone with my poor spelling of the japanese names, and because
I don't remember all the japanese names for the attacks. However, I
will be retaining the Japanese Silver Millenium names for
Serena/Princess Serenity, and Darien/Prince Endyimon.
I'm writing this story, because it seemed to me that the four
Generals had a hard time, here they were, four good men who ended up
killing their friends and the women they love. I also thought it about
time that Pluto's origins were explained, since I've only noticed a few
Sailor Moon fan fic that tells how she became the Guardian of Time,
though there may be more. I also wondered just how powerful Sailor Moon
was compaired to the others, like Saturn or Pluto. This is of course
just my take on things, and like I said, I've only seen the DIC
versions, and read some SM info on the net.
These first few chapters are going to be more in the way of
establishing things, so there won't be that much action in them as of
yet. Also, this is my first time writing anything with much in the way
of action sequences, so please forgive me.
I would like to thank to creators of my favorite Sailor Moon
continuation fan fic, Sailor Moon Z. It was their story that gave me
the idea to do one of my own.
Hope you enjoy!
Oh, if anyone wants to archive this, just write me and tell me that
and give me the URL for your webpage. As long as you give me the credit
I don't mind.

IN A TIME LONG AGO. . .
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Earth, and the rest of our
solar system was at war with endless armies of demonic monsters, Things
from Beyond. This occured for millenia, until finally, five archmagi,
the greatest sorcerers alive, gathered together. Their names were
Serenity, Endyimon, Vulcan, Metallia, and the fifth archmage, whose name
was lost to time. They wielded power the likes of which man has never
seen, the power of the gods, each with their own strengths; Serenity
was a healer gifted enought to raise the dead with power over the
elements, Endyimon mastered the secrets of crystals and the hidden
knowledge of the earth, Vulcan was the master of crafting things of
enchantment, and Metallia knew the secret magics of life and death, the
power to harness the life energies of people, either enhancing her own
powers, or changing the creature to suit her will. They crafted weapons
of devestation, that people could defend themselves, and then they did
war with the Things from beyond.
As the war became more fierce, nine women were chosen, and the five
Archmagi granted them powers drawn from one of the nine worlds in the
solar system, power based on an elemental force of nature, the Senshi.
Finally, the five Archmages and the Senshi joined their power and wisdom
to craft the ultimate talisman of magic, the Silver Imperium Crystal.
The Crystal drew power from all the nine planets in the solar system,
and the nine elements the Senshi embodied, it would also draw power from
the lifeforce of the wielder. They then used the Crystal to unite their
powers, first to craft the Great Wall, which banished the Things to
their ebony home, though it cost Metallia her life. After victory, the
Senshi, and the remaining Archmages divided that which they had created.
The Endyimon was made guardian and ruler of the Earth, with his lover,
Senshi Earth. The Silver Imperium Crystal was given to Serentiy, the
wisest and most compassionate of the group. The Gate of Time was given
into the care of Senshi Pluto. The great weapons were given into the
guardianship of Vulcan, with his wife, Senshi Mars, all the great
weapons, but those that were in the care of the Senshi. As a final
deed, the Senshi and Archmages used the Silver Imperium Crystal to begin
the process that would give life to all the planet, and the moon of the
Earth. They declared that all the worlds would be ruled by the Senshi
that bore that worlds name, and that all but the Mother World, Earth,
would owe allegience to Serenity, who would rule from the Moon. And So,
it came to pass. Their children, when they came to power declared that
this would be a time of joy and piece for the people of the solar
system, and they named this time after the talisman which had won the
people their freedom, the Silver Imperium Crystal. Thus the Silver
Millenium was born!

----------------------------------------------------------------
In a dark place, hidden from all the world, two figures stood.
One, a green-haired woman, held a staff shaped like a key, which bore a
jeweled orb atop it's length. The other, a man, was dressed as if he
had steped out of the middle ages, in soft breeches with a white blouse.
Around them, at each corner of the room, stood three giant crystals,
each as large as a tall man. In each was a large cloud of material. In
one, the cloud was of flower petals, in another, the cloud was made of
tiny stars, and the third was a mass of grey light.
"Are you sure you don't want to bring any of the Scouts into this,
Pluto?" The man asked his companion. "At least Saturn or the Princess.
Their strength and healing abilities would be a lot of help in this"
Pluto shook her head. "No. I won't involve any of the others.
Hotaru and the Princess are still too inexperienced with their healing
capabilities for something of this magnitude, Archon, and if it doesn't
work, I don't want them to feel any of the blame." Pluto walked to the
crystal holding the cloud of stars and laid her free hand on it's
surface.
"Soon," she whispered, "soon you and your loves will be rejoined,
and your souls will be redeemed." She turned to Archon. "We should
bring back Jedite first. We can use his power to aid in bringing back
the others."
Archon nodded as Pluto waved her staff in the air. A dark portal
opened up, and out of it floated a giant block of crystal, with a man
embedded in it. Archon pointed his hand at the crystal, and as they
watched, it slowly began to disolve. A fine white mist rose from it as
it shrank, until, finally, all that was left was the man who had been
inside. As soon as the last of the crystal that had imprisoned him had
vanished, he collapsed to his knees. Archon looked him over, trying to
note any differences between him and the young man he had once known.
He was a tall, blond man, with several scrapes and cuts about himself,
and lines of dried blood marked his face and his torn grey uniform.
Jedite looked up at his rescuers, and his eyes widend as he took in the
dress of Pluto.
"A Sailor Scout!" He grated. Jedite looked at his enemy, though
it wasn't one of the three who had been around when he had been given
the Sleep of Eternity, her costume and demeanor were unmistakable.
Unnoticed, Archon lifted a crystal, which, aside from being a clear
white, was identical in appearance to the one Zoicite had used to
retreive the Seven Shadows, and the Rainbow Crystals for the Dark
Kingdom. It floated out of his hand, and began to emitt a powerful
energy towards Jedite. Jedite clutched his chest as if in pain.
Quickly, Pluto caused a portal to open behind her, a portal not to
transport something or someone through space and time, but rather to
show something, which became apparent as images appeared in it. Images
of Jedite and a beautiful young woman with long dark hair, a woman who
obviously loved him, and whom he loved just as much. Images which
Jedite could easily see. Jedite frowned at this, the woman he was
looking at, who appeared to love him, was none other than Raye Hino,
Sailor Mars, his sworn enemy. He was so confused about this that he
barely noticed the strange sensation in his chest began to strengthen.
"Remember!" Pluto whispered, as a beam of light speared from the
Garnet Orb on her staff to Jedites forehead. Jedite's eyes widend as
memories pored into him. Memories of fighting beside his fellow
Generals of the Dark Kingdom, fighting 'againt' the youma that served
them! Memories of friendship with the Sailor Scouts, bowing to a young
man in black and silver armor, with all the loyalty that he had given
Queen Beryl, but without the fear that created it. Memories of the love
he had for one Sailor Scout, for one woman, for one...
"NOOO!!!" He yelled, as he tried to deny, to fight, the memories
that rose up from the depth of his soul. By now the sensation in his
chest was too strong to ignore. He attempted to fight, to struggle
against what was happening, but he was too weak and confused. First
from his final battle with the Scouts, then from Queen Beryl's
punishment, and finally from the images he had seen. Together, they had
prevented him from resisting when it had started, now it was too late,
and the man that had been in those images of the past, the Guardian of
Prince Endyimon, the lover and soulmate of the Senshi Princess of Mars,
the man that Jedite had once been, was reborn. His chest rippled like
the surface of a pool of water when it is disturbed, and a black crystal
shard flew out onto the ground. Jedite collapsed. Quickly, Archon
strode to him, and after a cursary look, nodded, and stood up.
"Most of the negative energy is gone from his system, Pluto. The
rest should disepate shortly." Pluto nodded, as if expecting that. She
turned to leave pausing only to pickup the dark crystal shard.
"Clean him up, and get him healed. When you feel he's sufficiently
recovered, send for me." With that, a dark portal opened up and
swallowed her whole. Archon shook his head as he picked up the pale
young man who lay at his feet.
"Sometimes I wonder if she does that just to be annoying." He
said.
"I heard that." Pluto's voice rang out in the room. A large
sweatdrop appeared on Archon's head.
"Look out!" Sailor Mars yelled, but it was too late. A crackling
javelin of energy flew from the monsters hand/claw, narrowly missing
Sailor Mercury. Mercury was thrown several meters away, and landed
hard. Sailor Jupiter frowned in shared pain. If the Sailor Scouts
hadn't been tougher than normal humans, then Mercury would have been
badly hurt.
"Jupiter Thunderclap, ZAP!" Jupiter yelled as she threw the sphere
of magical lightning at the monster. This was their first battle in
over a month, and she had finally gotten a new boyfriend. The others
had called her just before she could leave for her date, and she was
MAD! The red furred monster quickly dogged the ball lightning, letting
it explode against the concrete sidewalk, but it was caught by Sailor
Venus's Loveme Chain.
The monster was knocked off balance, and got caught by a Celestial
Fire Surround from Mars. Sailor Moon ran over to Mercury.
"Are you OK?" She asked. Mercury gave a shakey nod as she got to
her feet.
"I should be fine." Mercury pulled out her computer, since at the
moment, she wouldn't do much good in the fight. Suddenly, the computer
flashed a warning at her.
"Get ready!" Mercury yelled, "The monster's up to something!" But
the last of her warning was muted by the sound of a howling wind. With
a savage roar, the beast hurled a powerful wind at the scouts, throwing
them against the nearby wall. Only Mercury and Sailor Moon were still
standing, the rest of the scouts sprawled on the ground. The monster
thrust out a hand and hurled another energy lance at the downed scouts.
It sped towards them, only to be met and destroyed by a spinning
crescent of silver light, and a crimson rose. At the same time, a cloud
of pinpoints of light, like stars from the heavens, swarmed around the
monster. Every time one of the 'stars' touched it's fur covered hide
it cried out in pain, and a scourched spot appeared on it. As one, the
scouts looked up to see who had aided them.
On one side of the street where they had been fighting, stood the
enigmatic form of their protecter, Tuxedo Mask, on the other, stood four
armored shapes. Their features masked by their iron grey helmets.
Quickly, the four drew swords, and leaped to confront the beast. Within
moments, the creature was a pile of dust at their feet. The armored
warriors turned to the Sailor Scouts, and bowed. Then, as silently as
they had fought, they faded from view. Tuxedo Mask leaped down and ran
to the girls.
"Are you okay, who were those guys?" He asked. The Scouts shook
their heads in wonder.
"Perhaps 'you' can tell us." Mercury said. All eyes turned to
her. "Before they vanished, I saw a symbol that all four of them had
over their hearts. A circle divided into quarters."
"Symbol?" He asked. confused. What did a symbol have to do with
him?
"I noticed it too," Sailor Moon chimed in, "But what does it mean?"
"Ever since we became Sailor Scouts," Mercury began, "I've become
interested in astronomy, especially information about all the planets,
especially Mercury, and the Moon. I've learned the symbols of all of
our planets, and since the signs for the planets are the same now as
they were in the Silver Millenium, my computer has all the information
about the planet, listed under it's symbol. And the quartered circle,
was the ancient symbol for the Earth!" All eyes swivled to stare at
Tuxedo Mask, present incarnation of the Crown Prince of the Earth.

How do you like it so far? I'm certainly getting prolific with my
writing recently, don't you think? In the next part, the scouts and the
four restored Guardians will be rejoined, but how will everyone react to
their oldest enemies returning. And who is behind this new wave of
monsters? Come Back and Find Out
